Hi Dennis,
That sounds like an excellent solution to the Diskscan problem.
I am having a similar problem & attempted to adopt your solution.
Guess what? I do not have a file named "msdos.sys".
Could you send a copy of yours as an attachment & I could experiment?
I would appreciate this much.
With warmest regards & thanks in advance,
Harry Bassler
